Casablanca fire tragedy

Many are burned to death in a mattress factory fire. It sounds as though most of the deaths were on the 3rd floor, where the women sew, and that escape routes for them were blocked.

I'm just guessing here, but if this was an example of where there is Muslim male/female work force segregation by floor, while locking the doors keeps women safe from male harassers, it leaves them most vulnerable to tragic workplace disasters when they cannot escape. If this is the case, please bear this in mind in the future.
